[Bug 241480] Re: bacula-fd does not start when installed via bacula-client
I know this is 3 years old... but I'm seeing this problem happening randomly on Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS machines.

[Bug 241480] Re: bacula-fd does not start when installed via bacula-client
It's worth mentioning that after the network is started, avahi (on default install) looks at DNS to see if '.local' domain is served by DNS server. If that's true, avahi doesn't start. If there is no DNS for '.local', avahi will start. Since it takes some time to register an IP with a hostname, it is possible that bacula-fd is started before that registration happens. This results in unresolvable hostname and thuss failure to start. I suggest using 'localhost' if you desire to have '127.0.0.1'. If there is an non-local interface (eth0, eth1, wlan0, ...), d420.local will be a record for non-local IP. This bug is valid, but at the moment is unresolvable. Ubuntu has plans on replacing SysV init system with upstart, which could solve this issue. I'm closing this bug. If you feel that's wrong, please reopen it. ** Changed in: bacula (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Won't Fix -- bacula-fd does not start when installed via bacula-client https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241480 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bacula in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Avahi is an implementation of the DNS Service Discovery and Multicast DNS specifications for Zeroconf Networking. It uses 'special' '.local' domain. Problem is that network is up, but the user is using 'hostname.local' FQDN. This FQDN isn't managed by DNS, so it isn't resolvable. This domain is managed by interaction between all computers, which over Zeroconf talk to each other and arrange their FQDN inside '.local' domain. This can take a minute or two. This is why Bacula is started before the FQDN is resolvable. We could resolve this problem if we would stall booting of all services untill avahi registers server, but this isn't a nice solution :/. Upstart enables state driven booting, so all services would boot up, except those that depend on avahi. Those will wait until upstart declares that mDNS is up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeroconf -- bacula-fd does not start when installed via bacula-client https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241480 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bacula in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

I was unaware of the Zeroconf problems, and agree that stalling all services at boot time is not a good solution. I am going to note this because I imagine it will come up in other distros ... -- bacula-fd does not start when installed via bacula-client https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241480 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bacula in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
Re: [Bug 241480] Re: bacula-fd does not start when installed via bacula-client
Thank you for teaching me that. I was wrong in my cause of the problem. My mistake was to use this line in bacula-fd.conf FDAddress = d420.local #FDAddress = 127.0.0.1 I suppose avahi or whatever helps .local work is not ready when the script runs.
